The Electronic Jamming of the Aviation

Abstract

Nowadays we can read or hear a lot about the critical infrastructures. In the 1-3 Annex of the 2012 CLXVI Act, dealing with the identification, designation and protection of critical systems and facilities, we can find the transport as a sector, and the aviation as subsector of the transport. The aviation, as critical infrastructure, has several aspect regarding to the needed defence. Not only against the so common terrorism, but we have to prepare to to eliminate the effects of various natural phenomena, technical reasons as well. One of these technical reasons can be the electronic jamming. This article is the second part of my study about the defence of the aviation, as critical infrastructure, against the electronic jamming. The aim of this article is to introduce and analyze cases, where electronic jamming has been used against any element of aviation, whether it be a radar system or a communication system. I have also taken into account the jamming of the global navigational satellite system, which is also important in terms of aviation.
